Itinerary for Bavaria, Austria, Switzerland

In June will be 2.5 weeks, What are the must dos? We would like some time in Vienna. We also like off the beaten areas with local charm. Big cities not usually on the top of our list but we hear Vienna is a "must do." Thought about flying into Munich--going to Saltzburg, and Vienna. Someone suggested Vengen in Switzerland. Would love suggestions re: towns, rail vs. car, etc.

A good guide book or two should prove very helpful. Check your local bookstore or library to see which ones work best for you. And search this board for trip reports, planning threads, etc. You'll learn a LOT! Good luck with your planning.

Wengen (not Vengen, thought that's how you pronounce it) is fun - you get there by train from Lauterbrunnen (or all the way from anywhere else that has a train connection), no cars allowed. But it is a bit off route if you're planning on visiting Munich and Vienna. I agree with kja about doing some reading up to help with your planning. June is a wonderful time to go to the Alps, and certainly in the first half of the month, there are relatively few tourists.
